Police investigate Eastwood stabbing

Syracuse police are investigating the stabbing of a 26-year-old man in the 3000 block of James Street this afternoon, city police said.

Cashime Myers, of South Collingwood, suffered a minor wound to the back 1:52 p.m., said Lt. Joe Cecile. He was conscious and sitting upright when he was being treated in an ambulance.

Cecile said Myers was with his girlfriend in the Eastwood business district when he got into a fight with a male acquaintance. The fight ended and the other man left the scene. He returned a few minutes later with several others, and Myers got into a second fight with the group.

During that fight, Cecile said, Myers was stabbed. His girlfriend and the others in the fight were not injured, he said.
